50   CONTINUED:	(2)

					BASHIR
				(frustrated)
			You don't have to do this.. 
			Even if we can't save the others, you 
			don't need to sacrifice yourself.

	Goran'Agar turns to O'Brien.

					GORAN'AGAR 
			You're a soldier?

					O'BRIEN
			I have been.

					GORAN'AGAR 
			Then you explain.

	O'Brien nods after a beat. Goran'Agar turns and 
	SHIMMERS AWAY. Bashir looks at O'Brien.

					O'BRIEN
			He was their commander. They 
			trusted him. He can't leave them.

	There's a quiet beat... and then O'Brien heads for the 
	runabout. Bashir stands there a moment longer, looks 
	out at the jungle, having a hard time with this.

						O'BRIEN
				(gently)
			Julian...

	Bashir finally goes inside the runabout.

51   INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE 

	Sisko sits at his desk, doing his least favorite chore -- 
	paperwork. He takes a PADD from a large stack of them, 
	and begins reading it.

	There's a CHIME at the door. Sisko puts down the PADD, 
	relieved at the interruption.

					SISKO 
			Come in.

	Worf ENTERS, not happy.
